Getting the correct front springs was the first thing for me because the standard springs are to soft. Can you go to your local race track and ask some racers?

You could also just ring a national distributor because they have trained and authorised workshops around the country ( I did that first ).

And it made the bike look a bit better too I thought by not hanging past the rear wheel. I tried a small hi-low projector headlight which totally repaleced the standard headlight assembly to save some weight as the stock unit is so heavy. But it wasn't very legal. So for the time being the stock headlight is back in. The weight is from that darn hi beam as it's solid glass for the projector. I was thinking of an LED bulb for the low beam and a small LED assembly for a high beam.

Thanks mate for the info, especially about the cams that you found worked well. I have two gen1 busa's with three cam options, (so far). The silver gen1 has stock cams and on a dyno peak power was at 9400rpm and then falls away. So they have to go....The second gen1, the black one, had the two inlet cams mod done and it's power was up 4 whp but the power didn't significantly drop off to the rev limit of 10800rpm which was really good but... as a camshaft company explained to me on the phone, that swap is only just ok because not all of the cam lobes ride (sit ) central on top of the valves. Being slightly off centre prevents the cam from spinning when reved.....so, I've removed them and bought a pair of gen2 cams instead. But not fitted yet and thus, I'll need to get another set of something else. So your tip of cam choice is greatly appreciated!

The M4 system is worth a look as it's quality and at a very good price. A dyno tune is then a must using say the Woolich software for changing fuel, ignition, removal of restrictions on the dyno to get any benefits from the new exhaust. The Brembo RCS19 at just under $500 made a big difference. The rest can be just preference for the type of riding you do but in the case of my silver gen1, the suspension was shit and about $1000 it now rides just great. Hope that helps mate.
